Palestinian Resistance fighters continue to confront Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, amid an intense military aggression on the occupied territory.
Early on Friday, al-Quds Brigade fighters in the Askar refugee camp, near the city of Nablus, targeted Israeli forces using an improvised explosive device (IED). Palestinian fighters also fired their automatic weapons at Israeli troops, confirming direct hits.
Israeli forces raided the cities of Nablus, Areeha, and Tulkarm, searching family homes and arresting Palestinian citizens. A young man was also assaulted by Israeli forces at the Awarta checkpoint, east of Nablus.
The Israeli regime's aggression against the West Bank has led to the forced displacement of thousands of Palestinians, the destruction of homes, and the martyrdom and wounding of dozens. Civilian infrastructure was also severely damaged or completely destroyed in the cities of Jenin and Tulkarm, as well as refugee camps located in the governorates.
The Israeli assault on Jenin and its refugee camp has entered its 24th day, resulting in 25 Palestinian deaths, dozens of injuries, and widespread destruction. Meanwhile, the occupation's aggression against Palestinians in Tulkarm has entered its 18th day where raids and the destruction of properties are ongoing.
Palestinians who remain in their homes on the outskirts of the Nur Shams camp face worsening humanitarian conditions due to the blockade and continuous attacks. Citizens have issued urgent pleas for food, drinking water, medicine, and baby formula, as all essential services—including water, electricity, and communication—have been cut off following the Israeli military's destruction of the camp’s infrastructure.
